Tools 8 found in our last check

  • list_example_songs

    List real Songbrain analyses of Songbrain's own songs (no API key needed). Use one to show what the API returns before analysing a user's song.

  • get_example_analysis

    Full analysis of an example song: Song DNA, beat grid and sections, best moments, lyrics, scores, story and shot plan. No API key needed. Summary view by default (no per-word timings or beat arrays); set view='full' for everything.

  • get_example_shot_plan

    The beat-synced shot plan of an example song: every scene with start and end seconds, its act (setup, turn or payoff), the image/video prompt, framing, motion and the lyric sung under it, plus the story, world and palette. No key needed.

  • get_pricing

    Songbrain API prices (free songs per month, price per song) and limits.

  • analyze_song

    Start the analysis of a song at a public audio URL (MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG or AIFF; 30 s to 10 min). Needs an API key on the MCP connection. Returns a song_id; poll get_song until status is 'done' (typically 60–90 seconds, up to ~2 minutes when busy). Uses one free song,…

  • get_song

    Status of a song started with analyze_song, then its full analysis once done. Summary view by default; view='full' adds word timings and beat arrays.

  • add_video_direction

    For a finished song analysed with mode 'dna': builds its story and beat-synced shot plan (scenes with seconds and image/video prompts) from the existing analysis. 15 credits, refunded if it fails. Then poll get_song (about 30 seconds).

  • get_account

    Free songs left this month, credit balance and price per song for the connected key.
